Cameron employs a very easy-listening presentation. Just enough relevant detail without overwhelming the senses. His is a great perspective, obviously based on experience. Well done.
It feels very anachronistic to call these countries Eastern Europe still after so many years. Its same with calling Salzburg and Venice Western Europe. The last would definitely be Southern Europe, while the rest is Central Europe for sure. I tell you why: all a tourist observes there: architecture, landscapes, town layout, historical sites have clearly characteristics.
I'm really excited I'm going on my first European trip next year and this was really informative. I'm spending 4 days in Budapest! Hope that's long enough to see a lot of old and new history
Lithuania, Latvia & Estonia are the Baltic countries. Ukraine, Belarus & Russia certainly are Eastern Europe, as is Bulgaria, Romania & Moldova. The Balkans are from Slovenia down the Adriatic coast to Greece.
Alphonse Mucha's Slav Epic has 20 paintings in total, each with a height of either 4 or 6 metres (approx 12 or 19 feet). Hopefully, more tourists go view them in Prague, so that they are not loaned out to overseas museums, risking damage.
Why did you decide to disregard Slovakia, which is at the heart of all the other countries you are talking about? You are not really visiting Central Europe unless you go through Slovakia as well.
Calling these countries other than Central Europe is the same as calling California, Arizona or Texas Latin America... Please teach others to get it right specially hearing about these countries for the first time.
you have compared hungarian language to other slavic languages, it's obvious that language from the same group are similar - polish and czech (slavic), english and german (germanic), spanish and italian (romance), I think you should compare hugarian to almost any other european language, becouse hungarian is not from indo-european group of languages, like slavic, germanic or romance languages
It's like doing a presentation about Washington, New York and Boston and insisting that these places are located in Southern states. The Czech Republic is in Europe or more specifically in Central Europe (culturally, economically and geographically) . It's NOT located in Eastern, Western, Northern or Southern Europe or anywhere else. If you Anglo-Saxons want to make a presentation about our region please educate yourself a bit next time.
1000 years of polish history and I only hear again and again and again one word "communism" (45 years), in this presentation every 5 min. I hear this word
@@adamsmith4195 I don't think people are offended. I think they are tired of hearing it. As if all American history was just WWII and nothing else. Forget all else and focus on that only.
I find it extremely offensive that you are so dismissive of the communist era, and by extension of socialist and communist values. What are we to assume? That capitalism is the inevitable, far superior economic system? While that may be your personal opinion, be aware that there are large numbers of people suffering under out of control corporatist and neoliberal capitalist practices. Maybe your politics should not be so apparent. I won't watch the rest of this talk.
"That capitalism is the inevitable, far superior economic system?" Inevitable? No The best possible? No Far superior? Absolutely. I'm Polish, I was born after the iron curtain has fallen, but basically all of my family remembers the communist times. I heard many stories. It was grim.

You mean central Europe right?

Wonderful overview of the "Eastern" European countries!
50:45 Budapest

If you can, do stretch it to 7 days, with a day trip to the city, Pecs, to see the Zsolnay porcelain museums and 4th century Christian tombs.
Thank you. This is a wonderful presentation of Eastern/Central Europe.
I love your shots. It's so captivating.
I am from Poland
Superb presentation.
Chopin wasn't born in Warsaw but in Żelazowa Wola, 54 km from Warsaw and his house/museum is still there.

Since the end of the Cold War the correct geopolitical term for Hungary Czeh Republic and Poland is Central Europe. Not Eastern Europe...
Ale chováním, když to dneska vidim, patříme na východ.
myslíš že slované přišli od západu?
Rich Von Ertsey : ... & Slovakia, not to be confused with Slovenia.
Exactly, eastern countries are Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia (Euro-Asia).
Lithuania, Latvia &
Estonia are the Baltic countries. Ukraine, Belarus & Russia certainly are Eastern Europe, as is Bulgaria, Romania
& Moldova. The Balkans are from Slovenia down the Adriatic coast to Greece.
Fantastic Channel.. Wonderful videos. Like. My regards👍👍👍
great presentation. insightful indeed. Thank you for sharing.
he should have included Slovakia... It's so small and similar to Czech republic
More like Central European . Eastern Europe are countries like Ukraine , Belarus , Moldova , Bulgaria , Russia .
Alphonse Mucha's Slav Epic has 20 paintings in total, each with a height of either 4 or 6 metres (approx 12 or 19 feet).

I will see you soonest 🥰

that is a very strong claim :)
To bych ani neřekl, akorat tě bolí u srdíčka, že nebyl na Slovensku aji :) tak nebud tak defensivní :)
Good god this is chilling
We pay with credit cards almost everywhere in Poland. Why do you need currency for? Street markets only.
Maisto Anielow is a restaurant scam in Gdansk, dont trust menu prices. Polish taxi which are not marked with huge signs are also a scam.
Thnx friend

Cześć that means hello in polish that’s really exciting I had some relatives from before WW1

Everybody all offended up in here.
MsAppleeater
Well.. ..this la part of history. .
communism was terrible for all thèse countries. ..

Wah 👌
And has been for all the thousands of years except for the years of the Cold War (50 years)...
hungarians didn't have a puppet government during ww2. they had their authentic homegrown fascist leadership, who came to power years before hitler.
What about Serbia?

nevertheless communism as I knew it in Roumania was TERRIBLE dictatorship, non respect of HUMAN RIGHTS. ., hunger !!!!! etc etc etc
"That capitalism is the inevitable, far superior economic system?"
Inevitable? No
The best possible? No
Far superior? Absolutely. I'm Polish, I was born after the iron curtain has fallen, but basically all of my family remembers the communist times. I heard many stories.
It was grim.
